I just traded from a Dodge Durango to a Ram Quad Cab. I need some idea's on antenna locations. I haven't gotten the Ram yet (Wednesday I think), however I've been trying to plan for radio installation day. The unit will not have a topper.
1. Anyone done anything with NMO mounts in the bed stake pockets? Seems like an ideal location however maybe I'm missing something. What are your thoughts?
2. Not opposed to drilling holes however Ram will have a moon roof which limits the available room up top from what I can tell. Also - truck will be higher than Durango was and height is a consideration as antenna's hit garage door when I drove in garage with the Durango.
3. I do not want antenna mounted up front on left fender. The WI DNR has this type of mount and I think it takes away from the looks of the truck.
4. Anyone ever done a NMO mount on top of the bed rails? Seems to me this would be the same as a NMO mount on a rear fender of a car, however I don't think I've ever seen this done before.
I'm not an antenna expert so I'm looking for ideas........
